Chapter 158: Conquer the Mohist School and get new rewards!
[Ding, conquer the Mohist school, and you will be rewarded with 3,000 wooden oxen, 3,000 flowing horses, 3,000 Zhuge crossbows, and 3 million special arrows.]

Ying Heng looked at Mo Ningshuang, who was completely loyal to him, and the system's commendation rang in his ears, with words of praise pouring out like a spring.

This little girl has made such a great contribution!
The wooden oxen and flowing horses can carry heavy objects but move lightly. For example, a human walks six feet while an ox walks four steps. Each ox can carry enough food to feed dozens of people for a month. It does not tire people and the oxen do not need to eat.

This was a miracle of logistical supply on the ancient battlefield, which greatly saved manpower and material resources.

As long as these machines are intact, they can move endlessly, demonstrating the magic of mechanical engineering to the fullest.

Zhuge Crossbow also demonstrates the wonders of mechanical engineering.

Also known as the Yuanrong Crossbow, it weighs dozens of pounds and is about half a person's height. Ordinary soldiers need to work together to operate it, or it can be set on the city wall for siege and defense.

However, in this Qin world where cultivators are rampant, the repeating crossbow is like a toy in the hands of a child to a master of innate abilities.

Therefore, Ying Heng decided without hesitation to equip the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry that would accompany him on the expedition with 500 sets of equipment.

This powerful crossbow with continuous fire is an invincible weapon in close combat and also the enemy's nightmare.

In joy, Ying Heng looked at Mo Ningshuang with tenderness in his eyes.

He pulled the shy Ningshuang and kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Haha, Ningshuang, you did a great job!"

"Just wait for me at home!"

"As for the farm sisters you mentioned, don't worry, the young master will make sure you two stay together forever."

Mo Ningshuang's cheeks flushed and she stood there in a daze, not even able to hear what Ying Heng said.

The next day, Ying Heng left Xianyang in a luxurious carriage pulled by four horses, accompanied by people in blue and purple, and led five hundred Snow Dragon Riders and two hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Also traveling with him were the elites of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and generals such as Han Xin and Meng Yi.

He distributed 700 sets of Zhuge Crossbows to the Dragon Riders and the Embroidered Uniform Guards to ensure their own safety.

Unless there is a master in the realm of heaven and man who can control the perception of everyone, no fly can get close to hurt him.

Along the way, he walked leisurely, touring the mountains and rivers, but the rainy weather spoiled his mood a little and he couldn't enjoy it to his heart's content.

At this time, another army from Xianyang, led by Wang Li, was rushing to Hangu Pass. They had to support their father as soon as possible. Any delay would lead to disastrous consequences.

At this moment, the Xiongnu and Baiyue were ready to make moves, especially the Xiongnu, where a brave leader, Maodun, emerged.

He killed his father and inherited the throne of Chanyu. He first led his army to eliminate the Donghu, then cleared the Hexi Corridor and incorporated Yongzhou into the territory.

From then on, an unprecedented Xiongnu Empire stood on the northwestern border of the Qin Empire.

Upon hearing the news of the death of the First Emperor, Maodun quietly mobilized his troops and headed for the border as the Qin Dynasty had plenty of food and grass.

The Qin territory included the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, a fertile land that Maodun had long coveted.

This moment is exactly the opportunity he has been coveting!
However, the rebellion of Baiyue seemed insignificant. Zhao Tuo suppressed it with an iron fist, and the rebels were defeated and almost disappeared.

But Zhao Tuo’s loyalty remains a question mark.

On the rainy battlefield outside Hangu Pass, Wang Ben once again tasted the bitterness of defeat.

He planned carefully, luring Xiang Yu into a tight encirclement, and besieging his 3,000 men with his ten thousand soldiers. He was confident of victory and even hoped to kill Xiang Yu in one fell swoop.

However, when Xiang Yu noticed this and transformed himself into an unstoppable vanguard, everything became beyond Wang Ben's expectations.

Xiang Yu broke into the enemy camp as if he was in an empty space. Every shot of his spear was deadly and no one could stop him.

At this moment, Xiang Yu was wearing mysterious warhorse equipment, and his might far surpassed Wang Ben's army. His chestnut horse was like a blazing fire on the battlefield, invincible, no one could stop him, no one could resist a shot.

Even the few masters and grand masters under Wang Ben's command are no match for him!

Xiang Yu alone had the power to crush an army of ten thousand enemies!
Lu Bu was completely enraged and led more than 2,000 surviving cavalry to charge out, but did not escape.

He aimed at Wang Ben's central army and rushed straight forward. Since the heavy cavalry of Qin could kill Han Cheng and defeat 40,000 infantry, why couldn't I, Xiang Yu, do the same?
Driven by anger, Xiang Yu led his cavalry to attack Wang Ben's central army.

This time, Wang Ben miscalculated.

In order to set up the trap, he used most of his troops in ambush, leaving only 10,000 troops to guard the central army. He expected that Xiang Yu would not be easily encircled and might be able to break through, but he did not expect that he would escape so easily.

What was even more unexpected was that after Xiang Yu broke through the encirclement, he did not return to the main force, but led the cavalry to attack Wang Ben directly.

Is it to attack Huanglong directly and behead the main general?
If Huo Qubing had not seen the crisis halfway through and stepped forward in the rain to save Wang Ben, Xiang Yu might have retired long ago and Wang Ben might have died.

In recent days, Xiang Yu had always been unwilling to submit to the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. Relying on his military force, he once led his cavalry to challenge the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

That was his only terrible defeat.

Faced with the charge of the Snow Dragon Cavalry, Xiang Yu proudly did not flee, but instead commanded the lightly armed rebel cavalry to meet the attack.

In that battle, he led a thousand cavalrymen, but less than twenty survived.

Only Xiang Yu could still stand on his horse after the collision with the Snow Dragon Riders.

In that fierce battle, Xiang Yu was like an invincible god of war. He used his amazing strength to resist the charging Huo Qubing. He even held a gun alone and stopped two charging snow dragon riders, saving the lives of his two personal guards.

His bravery and fearlessness set a precedent in history as the first lightly armed warrior to single-handedly fight against the Snow Dragon Riders, and his ferocity was shocking.

However, despite Xiang Yu's indestructible strength, the one thousand cavalrymen he led were not spared. After just one round of charge, less than three hundred survived.

In the subsequent fierce battle, the number of people dropped sharply to a hundred, then to dozens, and finally under the protection of Xiang Yu, only less than twenty riders managed to escape the siege.

Huo Qubing witnessed this scene but did not chase after him. He knew very well that Xiang Yu's strength far surpassed that of the Great Snow Dragon Riders. Even if they attacked in groups, they would probably not be able to stop this brave general.

Only you can contend against such a powerful enemy.

Since then, Xiang Yu deeply realized the power of the Snow Dragon Cavalry and became more cautious in battle.

Under the clear sky, he no longer went down the mountain easily.

Whenever they deployed their troops on a plain, they would set up traps and defenses everywhere to avoid direct clashes with cavalry as much as possible, and even try to avoid decisive battles on the plains.

It was these 800 Snow Dragon Cavalry that restricted Xiang Yu's actions in the battle.

After several victories, he could have pursued the victory and captured and killed Wang Ben in one fell swoop.

However, Wang Ben desperately fled to the plain, where the Snow Dragon Cavalry was galloping, forcing Xiang Yu to withdraw his troops.

This is also an important reason why the two sides have been deadlocked for many days.

Although Wang Ben is not as strong as Xiang Yu, he has 800 Snow Dragon Cavalry under his command. Although the number is small, they can play a strategic role and become Wang Ben's strong backing!
At this moment, Xiang Yu was burning with rage, and wanted to rush into the center of Wang Ben's army and chop off his head, but he was frightened by the sound of the iron hooves of the Snow Dragon Cavalry, and had to retreat angrily!

Back in the tent, Xiang Yu was furious. His generals and think tank were helpless in what to do. Delaying the situation any further would obviously be disadvantageous to Xiang Yu.

In just three or four months, when the new crops are ripe, the rebels' doom will come.

Xiang Yu must conquer the Qin Dynasty within this period of time, otherwise he will have to return home and farm in despair.
